Buoyed by the success of the inaugural – and so far, only – performance of their two-man Twilight Zone episode back in May, Alan Marriott and Phil Whelans, will steadfastly ignore the sinister portents suggested by the date of this show and, by way of ringing Fate’s doorbell and running away, despite the fact that Fate has CCTV, they’ll be doing it again.

Alan Marriott – founder of Grand Theft Impro, Alan is a voice-over… well, I’ll say it… maestro; credits include Bob the Builder, Vampires, Pirates and Aliens, Anthony Ant, Lego Nexo Knights, Lego Star Wars and My Little Pony. Alan is currently the voice of Grand Sensei Dareth in Lego Ninjago. He was in The Reduced Shakespeare Company, brought Theatresports to London and devised or co-devised Hamlet Improvised, The Impro Musical, Impropera and Will Shakespeare’s Impro Musical.

Phil Whelans – writer and performer of his own Radio 4 sitcom, My First Planet, founder member of Pros from Dover – with whom he did two series of Radio 4’s The Infinite Monkey Cage.

Coming to this show may not placate Lady Luck and prevent her dropping your phone down the toilet or emptying your bank account, but what better way to spend an evening before a safe falls on you?

Music will be provided by the wonderful Tom Hodge. Tom has played for GTI, Music Box, Notflix, Monkey Toast, Seance Fiction and countless other impro juggernauts.
